Shower control valve - replacement spring
 

I hope someone can help with a search for a spare part that is
driving me mad!

I am looking for some replacement springs for Saracen D64500 Timed
Flow shower control valves. For some reason some users of my club
showers enjoyed unscrewing the head piece and watching the springs pop
out and disappear down the plughole. They will not do it again!

However, I now have several showers that simply will not turn off once
the head is pushed in.

Can anyone suggest a likely source of replacement springs, or near
equivalents?

Thanks.
Trevor

Measure the spring. OD, no of turns ignoring any fully compressed turns
at the ends, free length, and wire gauge This last parameter needs to be
a exact as possible at it has the greatest effect on the rate of the spring.

Then find the nearest Stainless steel spring from
http://www.leespring.co.uk/pages/home.html

or else try Springmasters or ashfield springs.
